Chronological Timeline
4 Recorded Trades
Trade 1 of 4
Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions
Detroit acquired Za'Darius Smith and a 2026 seventh-round pick from Cleveland at the 2024 deadline for 2025 fifth- and 2026 sixth-round selections. Smith gave a contender needed pass-rush help after Aidan Hutchinson's injury, while Cleveland converted a veteran into two future assets. Detroit gets the win for immediate competitive value, but Cleveland's return was meaningful enough to keep the grades close.

- Pick 2026 6th round pick (199th overall subsequently traded, Emmanuel Henderson)

Trade 2 of 4
Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles
Cleveland acquired quarterback Kenny Pickett from Philadelphia for Dorian Thompson-Robinson and the 2025 fifth-round pick at No. 164. Pickett spent the 2025 offseason with the Browns before Cleveland traded him to Las Vegas for a 2026 fifth-rounder. Philadelphia gained both a quarterback option and draft capital, while Cleveland effectively rolled its investment forward, leaving the original deal close to even.

Cleveland Browns
- Player Kenny Pickett
Philadelphia Eagles
- Player Dorian Thompson-Robinson
- Pick 2025 5th round pick (164th overall, subsequently traded; Yahya Black selected)

Trade 3 of 4
Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles
Kansas City moved down one spot from No. 31 to No. 32 and added pick No. 164, selecting Josh Simmons at No. 32 while Philadelphia chose Jihaad Campbell at No. 31. Campbell started 10 games and played all 17 as a rookie; Simmons started all eight games he played. Both teams landed first-round contributors, but the Chiefs gained the extra fifth-round asset for almost no movement.
Assets Received
Kansas City Chiefs
- Pick 2025 1st round pick (32nd overall, Josh Simmons)
- Pick 2025 5th round pick (164th overall, subsequently traded; Yahya Black selected at No. 164)
Philadelphia Eagles
- Pick 2025 1st round pick (31st overall, Jihaad Campbell)

Trade 4 of 4
Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers
Kansas City moved from No. 164 to No. 156 in the 2025 fifth round and selected linebacker Jeffrey Bassa, giving Pittsburgh No. 164 and No. 226. Bassa played all 17 games as a rookie and recorded 15 combined tackles with a forced fumble. That is a useful first season, but Pittsburgh received two contributors and more defensive production from Yahya Black, so the early returns favor the Steelers.
Assets Received
Kansas City Chiefs
- Pick 2025 fifth-round pick (No. 156, Jeffrey Bassa)
Pittsburgh Steelers
- Pick 2025 fifth-round pick (No. 164, Yahya Black)
- Pick 2025 seventh-round pick (No. 226, Carson Bruener)
